No, I didn't suggest that the Google links were to examples. I was responding
to Richard's claim that it didn't exist, essentially, because he'd never seen
it. Obviously many people have seen it, but you wouldn't expect to see links to
examples, for pete's sake. As I said, the next time I come a
I don't think you have even remotely established this as "standard practice."
On the contrary, it's an unusual deviation from the norm. I wasn't impressed by
the link you provided. It was a lot of people asking about the use of periods
after every word, but not a single example that I could see.
What is with you? I wouldn't have said it if I didn't mean it. But don't
overinterpret. It's not that every time someone wants to be emphatic, they use
it. Rather, it's "standard" in that it's used often enough that most readers
have seen it before and don't think it's weird; they understand wha
Are you still insisting that "it's pretty much standard practice these days for
bloggers and commenters when they want to say something emphatically"?

Um, looks a whole lot different from here, Feste. As for the "weird
punctuation," you must not get around the Web a lot; it's pretty much standard
practice these days for bloggers and commenters when they want to say something
emphatically.

First of all, I am seldom, if ever, truly mean; I do get mad sometimes. I do
tease others about themselves and only those who have no ability to laugh at
themselves whatsoever take offense, from what I've noticed. I make fun of
myself as well all the time. (Again, all in a manner and context so

What you and authfriend don't like is that Share does not respond to you in the
way you declare that she ought to, and that makes you mad and mean. You think
she should say what you have scripted for her, but of course things don't work
that way, and to expect them to is just another way of tryi
